Psi-Trek - The EPOC Generation

Space, the final frontier, these are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. It's on going mission, to explore the same old worlds, to meet regular life-forms and standard civilizations. To boldly go places where we've been before? Captain Ricard's mammoth ready-room stretched for over 200 meters in every direction. In the center Ricard leant back on his chair and placed placed his feet up on the desk. His starship had just finished an upgrade of the internal operating system and was heading for some hick planet in the middle of nowhere to do something that would endanger them. All was going well and he was just starting to relax. "Computer, Tea, Earl Grey Hot." "Too many parameters, please simplify request." replied the computer's voice. "Too many parameters?"

"Well, you usually say Number One like that when you want me to give lots of orders. It's strange I always seem to know what you want." "I was just getting your attention. Now, this new operating system, it doesn't appear to be as good as the old one. What are we using now?" La Forgie turned from his console. "Windows CE V2."
